Minds From Another Planet…Talking About This One!

CNN received an ominous audio tape recently exposing South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham’s interesting sense of humor. At the Irish Catholic Charleston charity group known as the Hibernian Society which has a habit of inviting big-name politicians to joke around behind their podium, Graham made some unorthodox statements that were definitely not “PC.” The society is an all-male membership charity, and so Graham cracked that if he were elected President, white men in all-male clubs could expect to do well. He mentioned that Baptists are the ones who drink but won’t admit it. Right on the heels of that line came (amid roaring laughter), “Baptists can’t read.”

The Democrat who sneaked the audio recording to CNN seems to have thought he had uncovered a dastardly and damaging incident that would surely sink poor Senator Graham into political oblivion. Most Americans will probably just laugh along with the crowd at the charity meeting, however, and figure out that he was not really serious.

When officers happened upon a massive cannabis growing operation, they were not expecting the unassuming older couple that greeted them at the door. Likewise, they weren’t expecting that the funds to this operation were not going to the usual places.

They didn’t spend this money on big cars and fancy jewelry, though; the vast majority of this money went towards humanitarian efforts in Kenya. Through their cannabis-growing operation, the couple were able to fund computers, housing, and medical care that supported entire villages of people.

Minecraft is one of those perfect experiences that almost anybody can play. The game is simple enough, and also engaging enough that it’s capable of holding just about anybody’s attention for a prolonged amount of time.

Martin Short has never stopped working, from his time at SCTV to his stint on Saturday Night Live where his characters had viewers tuning in every Saturday night just to see what he would come up with next. And then there was Glick, the very self-absorbed talk show host who never let his guests get a word in edgewise or any other way.

According to Rolling Stone, he has been busy since then, taking small but colorful roles in movies and is now on a Fox TV sitcom titled “Mulaney”, where he plays the completely self-obsessed boss of the title character.

Short talks about his character, Lou Cannon, who he calls “a moron with power”, adding that “those people are my specialty”. He elaborates on his role, but hedges when asked who it might be based on.

Not to mention the memoir “I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend”, which is out in November.

So what is Martin Short doing now? The question might be better phrased as “What is Martin Short not doing now”?

If you didn’t already know, Sarah Palin officially shot her political career in the foot last week, when the Palin family confused themselves for an episode of WWE Raw. Things were thrown, people were punched, and Sarah Palin was a participant.

You have to see this video. Jimmy Fallon ran a skit on his show the other day, which featured a surprise appearance by Brad Pitt, in which the two had a Breakdance conversation. You can see the full video below.

I know that Brad is just on the show to plug his new movie, Fury. But it’s still cool when celebrities do fun things like these.
